That's true in most cases but not all. Our tween child's neurologist told us that when a child is going thorough a stressful time, bed wetting can occur. Either physical or emotional stress.

Mine too. My first thought.

Yes, if they walked a lot or move around a lot and its quit you can them moving around. MY DS is a 6th grader and still has issues, I had him in my early 20s. My X was a bedwetter till he was 18. Sadly bedwetting is genetic and he might need them till then.....
We went to the doctor they did some test and all was well. The bedwetting they have is works, but they told me it doesn't stop cure it. It will prevent them from having an accident that night. sadly sometimes it just takes time. He's bff knows his is bedwetter, and all he said was his sister also wears pull-ups to bed..

He wet almost every night or does he have periods where he wakes up dry? Will he tell you if he is wet or not?

a few times a week, the time he told was when he was dry for a week straight.

It’s not due to constipation or a seizure.

Make sure it is not seizures - my kid has them at night

Goodnites are made to look and feel like regular underwear for older kids.

I had a kid in goodnights til fifth grade. It was fine. I also got some disposible mattress pads for when I thought she didn't need the goodnights anymore. The only advice is to not buy too many! Once she didn't need them, she never needed them again and I still have them sitting in my closet (I mean to give them to the diaper bank but haven't done it yet.)

Have you spoken to the dr, though? In my kid's case, the problem was constipation. I didn't realize this until very late, and she started getting other symptoms. She took miralax for a couple of months (and we prioritized veggies) and it solved the issue.

They are noticeable, if the noise and bulk don't give them away the waistband will.

I change the bed for my son. He has maybe 2-4 accidents a year and is embarrassed and feels terrible about it. I usually change his sheets while he gets himself cleaned up so he can get back to sleep as quickly as possible.

Have them change the bed with no judgement and easy fixes (like extra mattress pad, accessible sheets and blankets), then make 100% sure they’re not constipated and check in with the pediatrician about it.

For kids that are still having at least an occasional bedwetting accident as they approach middle school do you still buy pull-ups or just have them change the bed when it happens?
